TIE PANHANDLE.

From the Mobeetie Panhandle THE GA
zETTE takes this information concerning
the section which is now attracting SUCH
general attention: "From the increasing
number of inquiries We are receiving
from parties who desire to better their
lot by moving to new country, the in
ference is unavoidable that the present
year will see such an influx of strangers
among US as was never seen before ia any
frontier country. To attempt to answer
their questions in detail would occupy
more of our time than we can spare, but
we can say that few, if any other, coun-
tries offer such inducements to live, en-
ergetic men as the Panhandle does, inre-
gard to climate, quality of our land and
heslthfulness. Agriculture has not been
carried on extensively, but the
few farmers who have been here
any length of time have built them
selves up to affluence. AS home for the

A DOUBTFUL POLICY.
What an Organ or Producers and Laborer
Says of "PoIItics In the Order
Waco Alliance Standard.


We regret to see disposition on the
part CT some to drag the order of the
knights of Labor into party politics and
to place candidates Of the order in the
field for public favor upon that exclusive
ground. We holi that the order is not
one of politics, but rather an order for
the bettermen: of the working men and
women of the land. Lab0s is q high and
noble calling, composed of men of sill
parties and religious cTeeds, fBtHlling the
high command of Him VINO ssids "In. the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread all
the days of thy life"
Laboring men have Joined themselves
together the better 30 enforcethe demand
of Justice to the men who tell for
bread, and whenever the order, as an
order, permits itself to be made
cats paw to party candidates,
it loses 8 large portion of that
moral power which commands the
respect of the intelligence Of the
country. As knights OF Labor, It's
banner is the emblem Of the
wage workers-nO politics, or. religious
creed, no seeker for offices but noble
brotherhood united together fOr the com
mon good OF all, demanding common just
ice at the hands of capital, and equal
protection under the law. Strip It Of it's
brotherhood, and clOthe it VITA the
ragged garb of party, and you sow, the
seed of dissolution, and decay will mark
its progress, and over its grave will be
written: "Died by the hands of It's friends
by dose of party politics"
Do not understand US to say that a
oF Lrr
opiniOns-bY no means; they sacrifice no
politics, no religion, but as knight of
Labor, know but one object, and that OBJ
jeCt the elevation and advancement Of
the sons and daughters of toll, but one
hope, the equality of labor and capital be-
fore the world; one destiny, the subver-
sion of monopoly and the establishment
of equal and exact justice to all men.
If this be changed by mastering the order
under any political party banner, ruin to
the order IS certain IS that God Teigns in
the house of His friends.
The result will be the same no differ
ence which poll ical party is embraced.
The politicians court your favor, not
because they desire your success, but
merely because you command member
ship, and membership gives strength, and
If they can use your order TO advance
party interest their ObjectiS gained. The
Grange felt the blighting influence of
party politics, and on its tombstone has
been carved in letters of living light:
"Died by the hand Of its professa
friends" s
The Alliance foresaU the danger of POI
litical intrigues, wisely declared its or
ganization non-political and stepped out
into that broader and grander field 5of
brotherly love and common justice that
makes it to-day the strongest social Or
gaDlzation under the sun.
AS friend, we warn you Of the danger
ahead. Steer clear of paIty-baild up
your noble brotherhood in fraternal
union and success is assured, and genera
tions yet unborn will rise up and eSll you
